| Those are the brushes I use. They have several different sets available depending on what you need and are very affordable. |
My Final Thoughts:
Cons- Takes some trial and error to get the right color. Not "compact" meaning it is a very loose powder which can make application a little more tedious.
Pros- Again, easy to make, chemical free, and most importantly, it works! I love the bronze color/shimmer that it gives. It takes some getting used to, learning how to apply it properly and how much of each spice to use (i.e. if you want a darker color you may want to add more cocoa or nutmeg).
Overall- I am going to continue using it because it really works. I think it is going to be an ongoing experiment for a little while until I get it "perfect." I am considering re-making it, but attempting to make it more compact (by actually smashing it down in a compact and letting it set). Not sure if it will work, but I think that with the essential oil binding it, it may... Also, I really do like the color I get with it. It is very subtle and very natural. There is no "orangey" look that you get from some store-bought bronzers. I also like that it is highly adjustable. If I want a daytime look I can just sprinkle some cornstarch in the lid and mix it with the rest for a lighter glow. Finally, I love that it is completely made up of spices. Besides being inexpensive, I can wear it morning til night without worrying about my skin and what's going into my pores.
*I am also experimenting with adding different creams to see if I can make kinda of a liquid foundation/moisturizer... will update!*
